Here’s a classic Chocolate Fudge recipe that’s rich, creamy, and easy to make at home:

- 1 (14 oz / 400 g) can sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), sea salt, or sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra to lift the fudge out later.

- Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted.
- Add Flavor:
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Optional: fold in chopped nuts if desired.
- Pour and Set:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Optional: sprinkle extra nuts or sea salt on top.

- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Cut and Serve:

- Cut into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tips & Variations
- Creamier Fudge: Use half milk chocolate and half semisweet chocolate.
- Nut-Free Option: Skip nuts for a smooth chocolate fudge.
- Flavor Boost: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee or a pinch of cinnamon for a richer taste.
